title = "Scenes from Alexandria in the time of Domitian",
abstract = "During the reign of the last Flavian emperor, Domitian, the mint at Alexandria placed greater emphasis on Egyptian imagery in selecting reverse types. This paper examines two architectural types employed for the first time in this period: the Pharos and a triumphal arch. Although the great Ptolemaic lighthouse had stood for over three centuries it was not depicted on coins until AD91/92. The triumphal arch, which first appears on coins from AD86/7, has been identified as one of Domitian's arches in Rome. But there are reasons for supporting Botti's neglected suggestion that it was to be seen in Alexandria and that its constuction may have begun under Titus.",
